However, most musicians in the western world will only experience 12-tone equal temperament a represented by the keys on a piano. We want musicians to recognize that choosing a tuning system is a form of musical expression. The goal of this project was to help musicians of any skill-level experience, perform, and create music involving tuning systems. We created software to allow musicians to experiment and implement alternative tuning systems into their own music. %9 Major Qualifying Project %~ Digital WPI %W WPI
